Cheney’s political career spanned decades. Before serving as vice president, he was Secretary of Defense under President George H.W. Bush, overseeing the Gulf War victory in 1991. Later, as vice president, he became a central figure in the War on Terror, advocating for strong national security policies that shaped America’s global presence for years to come.
Even in retirement, Cheney remained a respected — and sometimes divisive — voice in Republican politics. His daughter, Liz Cheney, followed in his footsteps, serving in Congress and gaining national attention for her principled stances on American democracy and leadership.
As tributes pour in from across the political spectrum, many remember Cheney as a man of conviction, intellect, and enduring influence — a leader who left a lasting mark on U.S. history.
